ARK Patch notes say: "Fixed a bug related to player character becoming encumbered whilst fast travelling with Fjordhawk". This means you're safe to fast travel while carrying that obsidian/metal/crystal that you were mining
Fjordhawk
The Fjordhawk is a scavenging bird in ARK: Survival Evolved that is included in the free DLC map, Fjordur, on June 12, 2022. It can fetch items and locate injured targets. After dying, the Fjordhawk can retrieve and return your items once you die.

What ARK players use the Fjordhawk for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Weight does NOT matter!! You can have literal tons of anything in your inventory and it will still bring your bag to wherever you respawn. Please do more research before posting tips!
Beware of some bugs tho.. haven't figured out the exact cause, but I've had them…

Beware of some bugs tho.. haven't figured out the exact cause, but I've had them fly off when respawning or throwing them off my shoulder and also disappear thru the ground a few times. Again, I'm not 100% on these issues, but from my xp I'd recommend putting them on passive (passive flee even) and ignore group whistles which has helped to avoid immense rage induced sadness.
Lvl HP/Weight on Hawk Birb. Fly into scar, find nest, cryo flyer, pick up egg, eat Organic polymer, respawn at bed placed just out of render distance. BAM aggro free egg stealing!!
If the Fjordhawk dies while carrying a bag, the bag will not drop and will instead completely disappear with no way to retrieve it. Found this out the hard way after losing all my games.
Turns simple beds into tek teleporters. Fast travel and it will teleport ur stuff to u at new bed. Also i think weight of bird is irrelevant so can slot cap with metal and teleport to new bed and bird will bring everything.
It will be a good animal in PVP and in PVE too. Because it caugh your things when you die and it take them to you.
It is probably going to get like a tenth of ur inventory and be like that’s all of it here you go
So excited about this i think it will look awesome on my shoulders
Depending on how good it's weight and speed stat is, this could be really good for wyvern/Rockdrake/magmasaur eggs.
I think this would be a shoulder mount cause it will likely be small and it could get your stuff when you die and bring it to you. It may be useful in fights if it’s high level and in packs. It might Be used as a pet though. It could be bigger than I think though and may be…

I think these guys are basically vultures but with an upgrade.
It can locate injured targets and retrieve your item when you die etc.
Quite convenient, right?
Pain in the ass but useful think of it as /give death bag
Use this to easily steal wyvern eggs by taking the egg while having them on your shoulder, eat organic polymer and it will retrieve you’r loot including the wyvern egg.
I belive there is a limit .For example you know the island with the cabin on it to the wyvern trench
Can find bodybags while on your shoulder.
Everyone was really worried about the fact that the Fjordhawk could only carry so much, but they can carry more than you’d think! You won’t need to worry too much about some stuff being left behind!!!
Can't wait to use this guy on pvp man
Use this for finding high levels or hunting for trophy creatures maybe?
Most of the creatures I’ve encountered here have endured thanks to their great size, strength, or ferocity. But the fjordhawk gets by on its wits and by scavenging. The bird also seems to have an almost preternatural ability to predict and avoid danger. Fjordhawks follow…

The bird also seems to have an almost preternatural ability to predict and avoid danger. Fjordhawks follow predators (and survivors) from on high, watching for their moment to swoop in and snatch up an easy meal.
Domesticated
Tamed fjordhawks are surprisingly playful, and their favorite game is fetch. Indulge your bird with this play and a bit of patience, and you’ll reap the rewards. Just point out a target, and your fjordhawk will fly off to retrieve it for you. A well-trained fjordhawk can locate injured prey and communicate its find to you. These clever birds will bond with humans as wholeheartedly as any canine or primate, in a way uniquely suited to this time and place. If you should meet with some grave misfortune, your fjordhawk will immediately fly off with as many of your belongings as it can carry. As soon as you’re respawned by the ARK, your friend will track you down and return your equipment to you!
